Montreal Canadiens defenseman Nathan Beaulieu will definitely need some ice on his knuckles Tuesday following a spirited bout with Tampa Bay Lightning forward Cedric Paquette.

Beaulieu delivered a right hook that took Paquette's visor right off his helmet, leaving his forehead bloody in the process.

The 23-year-old has certainly stepped up the physicality this season, dropping the gloves for the third time in 52 games.
